T.A.G. Battleground Week 5 (two title changes)

[BeerGeek]

OK, I'm working on a new circuit that will soon be on here. The concept of this promotion is that there is NO singles wrestling, all tag teams and trios action. There will be an occasional handicapped match, but other than that, nothing that goes against traditional tag and six-man tag matches.
